Critical American Studies

Series editor: George Lipsitz

This series examines recent trends in American Studies that address fundamental questions about history, culture, social structure, race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship. It examines the forces--including mass migration, global economy, the seeming weaknesses of the nation-state, and ongoing ethnic antagonisms--that compel the field to reexamine the role of culture in producing individual and collective identities.
